Zoey Dean's best work yet!

Zoey Dean is at it again in her novel Tall Cool One as the fourth book in the A- List series. In this book, Anna goes on vacation to Las Casitas in Mexico to check out a resort that her father might buy. Back home Poppy, Sam's stepmother is getting ready for her baby, and her best friend Dee, becomes best friends with Poppy, agrivating Sam, so Sam goes to Las Casitas. There the two girls each meet a guy, but one day after drinking a very powerful drink, mescal, the girls get drunk and lost on the beach. Then a thunderstorm comes and the girls take shelter in an abandoned mansion, where they are awaken the the Mexican police getting ready to kill them, until Jackon Sharpe comes to save the day. In the end the girls get home and Anna is upset because her dad didn't come to look for her. In my opinion this was my favorite book in the series so far. Zoey Dean really keeps her readers interested with this book, and I would definitely recommend this book and the rest of the series to teen readers.

Then again, its......

I really loved this book, its awesome! Well, its mainly about Anna who is in a chic resort in Las Casita, Mexico. Sam, who tired of her step-mother's baby preparations, sneack off to join Anna. Back in Beverly Hills, Cammie and Adam take their relationship to a whole new level. Cammie is deeply falling in love with innocent Adam. Sam's step-mother, Poppy, finds a New Age sister, Sam's best friend Dee and asks her to live with the Sharpes. Anna's parents are considerating getting back together as they concern for Anna's sister, Susan, newly out of rehab. Back in Mexico, Anna is determined to learn how to surf. Sam is totally stressed out about school, boys and family. Sam tries to find a guy that likes her for who she is and not for her father. Anna & Sam meets a handsome guy name Eduado, who happens to be Sam's prince! Anna & Sam both meets guys who like them for who they are, and when they do... A trip to a small Mexican Village leads the girls to getting lost. They're in serious trouble, but luckily a group from home, jets down try and rescue them. Sam & Anna travels in a jet back home and just when Sam thinks she will never see Eduado again, he shows up and suprises her. It really is a "happily ever after" ending. I really can't wait until I read the 5th book, The A-List series are making me want to go farther than I expected. I think this is a excellent & determined book for everyone to read!

Even Better

Zoey Dean makes "The A-List" an even better series with Tall Cool One. Anna Percy struggles with finding herself and becoming her own person with life after Ben. She sees everyone hooking up around her and wonders if a one-night stand would do her any good. I was excited to see Anna and Sam get away to Mexico and away from the influence of everyone in Cali. It was also good to see that Sam is able to in some ways come to terms with being "overweight" compared to the rest of her friends-and to find a hot guy in the process! It is also relieving to see that Cammie is actually a real person; she is not all cattiness and hormones, she does have feelings! The way this book ends is keeping me waiting for more (especially on the Sam front, now that she's found her "prince"!)

Still strong because of its fantasy plot

The fourth book in Zoey Dean's A-List series follows Anna Percy down to the chic resort of Las Casitas, Mexico. Sam, tired of her new stepmother's baby preparations, sneaks off to join her. What could two Juicy Couture-clad teens find in an exclusive vacation spa? Danger, adventure and, of course, hot guys. Life back in Beverly Hills has a few surprises lately, too. Cammie is falling seriously in love with the innocent Adam. Both are surprised by their enjoyment of picnics and talking in the midst of a world of hot parties. Sam's stepmother Poppy finds a New Age sister in Dee, and even asks Dee to move in with the Sharpes. Anna's parents consider getting back together as they bond over their concern for Anna's sister, newly out of rehab. In Mexico, Anna is determined to learn how to surf, and Sam tries to find a boy who cares about more than getting into her father's next picture. A trip to a small Mexican Village leads to the girls getting lost. They're in serious trouble, but then a group from home jets down to try and rescue them. TALL COOL ONE is fun for the virtual vacation to Las Casitas alone. Reading about the amenities of that resort is delicious. The fantasy plot keeps the momentum of this series going. Fans will enjoy the spring break adventure and wonder what the Hollywood teens will be up to next time. --- Reviewed by Amy Alessio

zoey dean once again produces another great A-list novel!!!

Although, i didnt like it as much as i liked the first 3...it was still great...i read it in less than 2 days (and i am a slow reader too)...i wasnt a big fan of the ending but it was okay since there will be a 5th one coming out..i was alittle disappointed b/c the plot of this one is a little "far-fetched" and i am a big fan of anna and ben...and ben is barely mentioned in the book at all :( ...but there always the 5th coming out in sept
